Please feel free to lock or mock if this is a repost. I must admit I had a little chuckle but am I missing something here? Would you not just shoot the tyres if you were being chased by this monster?

or thinking about it, just push it over.

As they said, it is for airports, or confined spaces. Can't see the problem. I presume the tyres are run flats, or solid rubber, so shooting them won't do much.

You just know that if used by our police, it would need charging up first before going in to action!

It does say it's electric with a six hour battery life.......

All the terrorists have to do is attack when they are all sat on charge........

But apart from that, quite an interesting idea, I guess it could roll into a hotel etc to go after terrorists.

The article says it can go into lifts...

Don't they need to get out of it to press the button?

I should imagine that the doors of the little golf cart work so that they can get back out again once they have gotten in. Otherwise all the security troops will die of starvation stuck inside.....
